About us Modern Service was established in 1965 as Modern Air Conditioning, installing, servicing and replacing air conditioning to homes and business' locally.  By 1969, they were the largest mechanical contractor in Southwest Florida.    In 1986, Elliott Lewis purchased Modern.  We were fortunate to be part of a company that has such a strong commitment to customer service.    Elliott-Lewis Corporation has a proud tradition of service that dates back to 1905, when Thomas H. Lewis, Sr. and Frank R. Elliott started the Elliott-Lewis Electrical Company. The two 21-year-olds had the vision to help electrify cities in the Philadelphia area with lighting and telephones. Their business grew in the early part of the century when appliances and other equipment came into play.   The depression brought tough times, and in mid-1932, Lewis was looking for ways to expand the business. A meeting with General Motors introduced him to a new product that would revolutionize home heating -- the automatic oil burner. By the winter of 1934-35, Elliott-Lewis was the largest oil burner distributor in the world.   After GM's Frigidaire Division introduced the commercial air conditioning unit in 1934, Elliott-Lewis entered the HVAC business and installed the first commercial air conditioning unit in the Delaware Valley.   Business came to a halt in 1942, as resources were needed for the war effort. After the war, the appliance, manufacturing, and mechanical systems service contracting business grew. Maintenance contracts were offered to cover all the equipment sold and installed by the company. Many of those original customers maintain their relationships to this day.   Today, Elliott-Lewis has close to 550 employees and services their customers from the main headquarters in Philadelphia, as well as from 8 other locations.   Throughout this century, people have relied on Elliott-Lewis to make their lives more comfortable, more convenient, and more productive. Although the company's products have changed throughout the years, its commitment to customer service has never faltered.   Today, we are Modern Service for Home and Business providing so much more than Air Conditioning Installations, Service and replacements. Together with our sister company we are able to take care of homes and business' from Tampa to Marco Island.   Company Profile   Parent Company:  Elliott-Lewis Corp, Inc. 2900 Black Lake Place Philadelphia, PA  19154 www.elliottlewis.com 350 Plus Employees Established 1905   Dunn and Bradstreet Report Available (Fee charged to inquiring party) Customer Service # 1-800-234-3867 Our Dunns # 032301046     Affiliate Florida Companies:   Modern Service for Home & Business 5520 Division Drive Fort Myers, FL  33905 www.modernservice.com 70 Plus Employees Established 1965   Anderson Service for Home & Business 400 S.
